After Beyonce, 34, set the 2016 MTV VMAs on fire, and Alicia Keys, 35, gave a powerful, makeup-free speech, and Kanye West, 39, spoke his mind onstage (again), the trio headed to a star-studded dinner with their significant others and more, and posed for quite the epic snap.

Alicia's husband Swizz Beatz, 37, shared the group photo on Instagram with the caption: "Family Zone."

There's Bey and Jay Z, 45; Kim Kardashian, 35, and her husband Kanye; Diddy, 46, and his longtime girlfriend Cassie, 30; Alicia and her husband Swizz; and music exec Steve Stoute, 46, and his wife Lauren Branche, all sharing a laugh. See more of what went down next!

All of the ladies were standing, while the men sat in front of them, with Alicia palming Swizz's shoulders, Beyonce looking down as Jay raised a wine glass, Kim palming Kanye's shoulders as he laughed, and Diddy laughing it up too as Cassie stood closely behind him.

Let's just call this one of the most star-studded post-VMA dinners to ever go down. The crew met up at Italian eatery Pasquale Jones, where they enjoyed their meal together (post-epic snap).

The only two who seemed to be missing from the dinner were Rihanna, 28, and Drake, 29. See what they got up to...

Before they partied the night away elsewhere, the duo was spotted canoodling a bit after the rapper presented her with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the show...and he accidentally tripped over her dress as they headed off stage (scroll to the end to see that moment!).

After Drake declared onstage that he's loved Rihanna since he was 22, he took to Instagram with this cute post in Rihanna's honour.
